A huge trap

Vexed, Taehyung grabbed a fistful of his hair. "But I don't have so much money."

"This isn't something I can help with. Please pay the penalty fee within a week. If not, we may sue you."

"Even if you sue me, I still don't have the money..."

"Taehyung, do you know how serious it is to not pay up after the court asks you to do so? Let's not mention how you won't be able to buy a house or a car in the future and just talk about the present. If the court judges you to be insolvent, you'll be completely banned from riding in more expensive modes of transport such as airplanes and high speed rails. The next time you head home, you can only take the ancient green trains with hard seats."

Manager Ok rattled off all that in one breath. When he was done, he saw Taehyung had propped an elbow on the table and was resting his chin on his hand. Taehyung beautiful jet-black eyes were fixed on him and seemed to see all his inner thoughts. 

He felt a little awkward and pushed up his spectacles. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Manager Ok, did Jungkook put you up to this?"

"Cough, errr that..."

It was clear to Taehyung what was going on. He stifled the rage in his heart and gave a scathing smile. "You don't need to deny anything. If Jungkook had any objections, he would have raised them long ago. Isn't the truth that he was tolerating all that just for this moment? He wants to mess with me."

Manager Ok felt a little upset. As an old, single dog, why is he getting involved in these youngsters' trivialities? What's with the vibes of "The Overbearing CEO's Relentless Pursuit" and "Contract Secretary: 100 Percent Love"? Screw this all!

Even though he had rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, what needs to be done still needs to be done. Manager Ok arranged the documents and told Taehyung his Alipay account number.

"I want to see Jungkook," Taehyung said.

"You can see him at any time. That's between the both of you." As Manager Ok spoke, he kept the documents, rose, and with extremely swift steps, escaped the office.

When he was outside, he bent his head and texted Jungkook: This is the last time I'm helping you to trick someone!

In the room, after Manager Ok left, Taehyung was so furious that he heavily slammed one hand on the table.

His phone screen lit up. He lowered his head to glance at it. It was Jungkook informing him of his current location in the canteen.

......

When he reached the canteen, Taehyung was still fuming. He sat across Jungkook and stared at him. His chest heaved heavily from anger and his rounded eyes glittered with hostility. His cheeks were puffed up like an angry pufferfish.

Jungkook's heart brimmed with glee.

This appearance of him was great for whetting Jungkook's appetite. Jungkook finished his meal and went to buy another set.

When he sat back down, Taehyung heavily stomped his feet beneath the table.

Taehyung succeeded only once. When he tried again, Jungkook swiftly dodged. The two of them kept at this for a while. Then, Jungkook suddenly stretched out his legs and deftly pinched Taehyung's two legs together. His lower legs were long and strong, managing to firmly trap Taehyung's two ankles together. Like an animal leg-hold trap, he mercilessly secured this small animal that has encroached on his territory.

His legs were too strong. Taehyung repeatedly tried and failed to break free. He said lividly, "Lunatic, let me go."

Jungkook did not continue messing around and actually released him just like this.
